What do you think? Do you like the Deception TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

I love this show! The lead is a black female cop. Being a female latina in law enforcement, I know personally how difficult it is to be in this line of work. It’s even harder when your a woman and a minority, it’s a double whammy. You have to work twice as hard to prove yourself because no one respects you or takes you seriously. Most men have a hard time dealing with women as authority figures and don’t like taking orders from us either! I hope Deception gets renewed for another season. We need more shows like this on… Read more »

Deception is a great show and I feel it would be a tragedy if NBC cancels it…I am so tired of reality shows and feel this is a great drama for their lineup. I rather watch this show than Biggest Loser and other boring shows.

Deception is the only reason I stay up on Mondays. The show has so much going for it. Every Tuesday morning I sit down and talk the show over with my mother in law to see if we missed a clue as to who killed Vivan. Once we saw the first episode we picked who the killer was. Since the real killer has yet to be revealed it will be nice to see who actually won between us. Please keep Deception for another season. Even if you have to move it to you sister station.

I will admit that I have seen Meagan Good in other things and I was not a fan and I did not believe she could pull this role off. But I have been hooked every since the first season I have been trying to figure out who killed Vivian and the only people I am sure had nothing to do with it are JoAnna, Mia and Audrey..I’m left in suspense EVERY week..Please please PLLLLEEEAAASSSEEE do not cancel this show..i have stopped watching Revenge for Deception.

I really like the show, I also watch Revenge on
ABC. I don’t understand why they compare
the two shows, they are totally different. Deception
Is getting better every week, with more
secrets to be uncovered. I don’t belive the
Network is giving the show a chance, at least
let the show have an ending for the viewers
you do have. I watch the show the Event on
NBC and that was canceled and felt like I spent
weeks watching with out seeing the main event.
